  1. Hi I am looking forward to gleaning lots of good info from off here and will start with a question myself......at 50 years of age with a tired body could anyone offer an experienced opinion of the Diavel? I have ridden always sports bikes.... all the usual jap suspects but still want the fun and power but without dead wrists and numb arse thanks in advance fellas [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

  2. Welcome along. If you've not riden a Diavel, book yourself a test ride. They go well in a straight line and surprisingly well round corners too.

    If you get one, prepare yourself for lots of tassle jokes :upyeah:

  8. Yep. You've got to zoom in but they're there all right. I assume glass, paper and plastics. Nice

  9. Hey guys the irony is my wife is a professional photographer so she will be livid!! Cannot take blame for the green rug not my house but bins yes. When I get back to UK I will wheel it in her studio for better pics...I know the standard now on this forum with the beady eye! Cheers. On Diavel point Char I have read lots saying SF it ain't much comfort.

  10. Rode it to Italy and back with no problems - the over 60's may recommend the multi for touring ;)

  15. Thanks guys, I will test ride Diavel, SF and monster. El Toro appreciate the link. My Q was asked as test riding is different to living with a bike day to day real valuable honest comments cheers. Ps is there option to post my 848 on here to sell if I make a decision to change (best option would be to keep both but working outside UK difficult sell in my head to have both)

  20. I found the Diavel cramped and uncomfortable, the MTS on the other hand :cool:
